What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior roles where I can lead strategic partnerships and luxury client programs, drive international expansion, and build high-value, long-term relationships in a collaborative environment.

I am a multilingual business development executive with 20+ years of international experience driving growth, strategic partnerships, and market entry across Europe and the Middle East.

I founded and scaled a global advisory firm that secured cross-border investments and franchise strategies in luxury real estate and hospitality, building long-term collaborations with executives, investors, and HNW clients.

As an executive director and senior operating manager, I led joint ventures, negotiated high-value contracts, and positioned brands for expansion in the USA, Australia, and EMEA markets while managing VIP client relationships and investor engagement.

I bring entrepreneurial acumen, cultural diplomacy, and a proven record of delivering transformational outcomes for luxury brands and elite clients, and I am committed to driving measurable growth through strategic alliances and exceptional service.
